Ideal Applicant
A Pennsylvania-based community or Jewish-oriented nonprofit seeking modest, program or event support and with an existing local referral or relationship to the trustees or local federations.
Good Fit
- • Located in Pennsylvania or serving the Philadelphia area.
- • Mission aligned with community services, Jewish communal needs, or health-related programs.
- • Requesting modest one-time grants (typically under $5,000, though occasional larger Federation grants appear).
- • Has a referral or visible relationship with local federations or community leaders.
Geography
Observed giving is heavily concentrated in Pennsylvania — about 86% of dollars in the latest year — even though a few out-of-state grants appear across four states.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a moderate spread of recipients (12 distinct grantees with seven new ones), but dollars are highly concentrated in a small number of top recipients (the top five take 94%), yielding a mixed picture of breadth.
New Applicants
Behavior shows substantial new grantees were funded in the latest year, but the foundation explicitly funds only preselected organizations and has no public submission route, so entry for unfamiliar applicants appears possible mainly by referral or invitation rather than open application.
